Nobody Wants This Star Kristen Bell in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Thank You" to Fans

Kristen Bell's secrets for radiant skin include meditation and daily SPF.

Kristen Bell has captivated audiences for years with her memorable roles in Veronica Mars, The Good Place, and the Frozen franchise. Most recently, Bell starred in Nobody Wants This and shared behind-the-scenes photos from the set on Instagram, where she wrote, "Thank you to all of the lovely people who made Nobody Wants This possible!!

She Meditates

Bell likes to practice meditation for both her mental health and skin health. She tells Vogue, "When you're focused on skin care, I think people miss the steps that affect the skin so much, which is your mental health or your stress. [Meditation]… is calming to my skin… because it's calming to my mind. If I can find 10 minutes once or even twice a week, my whole body, my digestion, my skin, my attitude, it's all calmer."

She Has A Skincare Routine

Bell shared her skincare routine with Refinery29 "I use a cleanser with it that's from Instytutum that's an oil-to-gel," she says. "Again, it's not a leaves-a-residue oily, but it clears everything without sucking all my moisture out. And then because I still have combination skin, I use the iS Clinical Active Serum for breakouts. It definitely hearkens back to the days of Seabreeze, which we put on our skin in high school and smelled like a medicine cabinet. And then I use Look Alive over it. That's pretty much my regimen. The only place I don't mind a residue is around my eyes. I want the thickest possible layer because I feel like the fine lines are getting the extra attention."

She Takes Her Makeup Off

One of Bell's skincare secrets is making sure to take her makeup off each night before going to bed. She tells Shape, "I never go to bed with makeup on. I double-cleanse at night and use a wipe before I wash my face. I like the natural wipes from Neutrogena and their pore-clarifying cleanser, which I use with my Clarisonic."

She Keeps Her Skin Moisturized

Bell shared some of her skincare secrets with Refinery29. She says that one of her biggest secrets is keeping her skin moisturized. "I remember when I was living in New York and going to the beauty supply store Ricky's on the weekends with all my friends from NYU, my skin would get so dry, so I would get Bag Balm. It's like a Vaseline with an antiseptic in it — old women would slather it on at night. I remember using that and my face would have this crazy sheen and I would be like, 'Nothing else blocks everything out and keeps me moisturized!' I've always been on this kick to find something that could moisturize my skin in the way that I need, but not leave this greasy residue."

She Uses SPF

Bell tells Refinery29 that she makes sure to protect her skin from the sun. "The foundation that I use from IT Cosmetics — that has a SPF 50 in it, so I'm getting a lot there. Thankfully so many people are putting SPF on because it's obviously vital. I also have a baby care brand called Hello Bello and the SPF lotion is the best. So I'll put Look Alive on and then the Hello Bello SPF and then makeup if I'm wearing it."
